    I found this place by a recommendation from a Barcelona native. Upon arrival the place was already packed. The place opens at 730 and I showed up at 8. There was a line to get in as reservations were all booked up. We waited for about 40 mins . But let me tell you it was well worth it !!!! The gyoza was amazing and same with my miso ramen bowel !!! The only reason I have this place a 4 star instead of a 5 was for the wait time and the general ambience of the place. Because of the long wait line we felt rushed to eat quickly and free up our table . I wish it was more relaxed and allowed for time to have a proper dinning experience.

    Shoyu ramen

    This was probably the highest rated ramen place in Barcelona when we looked, and we were craving Asian food so decided to stop by and give it a try. We went around 10PM and there was still a queue. We waited about 15-20 minutes and then were seated at the bar. We ordered a shoyu and miso to try the different flavors. The ramen broth makeup was one we haven't seen before - comprised of chicken, pork, and seafood. What an explosive flavor combo! The broth was thick and fatty, noodles were cooked well and the chashu tasted seasoned. However, the broth was extremely salty. If you eat it with the noodles, it's less apparent, but by itself was unbearable. We always finish our ramen broth but we couldn't stomach how salty it was and left it. The shoyu was saltier than the miso. Perhaps this is just how ramen is in Barcelona - saltier than usual?

    LOL, ramen in Spain? I was extremely skeptical about eating ramen esp in Spain, but my body can only take so much tapas. They were getting so repetitive that I needed a change of palette. The reviews on yelp and tripadvisor looked promising, so why not. It's sat today and we arrived at 230 in hopes that there wouldn't be a wait. Boy were we wrong. Line was crazily LONG. We were scared they were going to come out and cut off the line because 330 is supposed to be their closing time until dinner opening again. To my surprise we we seated at 345 with a few parties after us. It was a cold long wait, so bring a thick jacket to brave that winter cold. I ordered the miso + corn + butter. To my surprise, the ramen was really good!! It was prob better than some places I've had in the Bay Area, or at any other places I've tried in the USA while on vacay. I would've enjoyed it better if I could opt to add some spice to it. Maybe I can? I didn't want to ask to make it difficult.

    It's good here!

    Another random restaurant that I had to visit in Barcelona. Its quite far from Tapas... the name says it all. My friend and I was in the mood for soup and I was on Yelp looking for the perfect place for a warm bowl of soup. When the search results shows this place with high reviews, we decided to take a detour from Tapas and get our soup on. Man was the line long we we got here 30 minutes into the opening hour. This must really say something when theres that much patrons willing to wait for ramen. After a good 45 minutes of waiting, our table was ready! Man, it was jammed packed inside. Since we had so much time to burn waiting, we already knew what we wanted to order. I had the Tonkatsu Ramen with the side of Gyoza. The noodles were just right with a good consistency. It separated and was not stuck together like some mediocre places that I've visited in the States. Char-sui was spot on with the nice blacked crust and tender to the spoon. Broth was just full body with good character. Man it was delicious. I would recommend this to those who travel here and need a breather from Tapas. Pretty solid and random place for ramen.

    Outside waiting.

    I would give this place more of a 3.5 stars. The ramen was good for a chilly windy day in Bacelona however I would not wait 30 minutes again after trying. The service is quick but not attentive. This place gets packed so they know they will always have people lined out the door. We ordered the seafood and miso ramen and shared tofu salad and gyoza. I had a beer and Boo Boo had a hot green tea. Everything was around 32 euro. Seating is tight. Be prepared to share a table if you're a party of 2. My sweater smelled like pork at afterwards. Had to change out of my clothes at my airbnb.

    Miso on top (w added egg). Tsukemen broth and noodles on bottom. Sake bottle to the right (standard sake taste... meh).

    We waited in line about 30 minuted~ we got there around 9pm? So the wait wasn't too horrible. Bf got the miso ramen (added an egg) and I got the tsukemen (dipping ramen). I personally liked the broth for mine better. I think it's unique that there's a seafood broth taste to their soups. For a Japanese restaurant in Spain, this actually wasn't bad. I'm pleasantly surprised!

    We were visiting Barcelona from USA and felt like Ramen so we ended up at Ramen Ya Hiro. This restaurant opens at 8:30 but a line starts around 7:30 due to limited seating. It took us almost 2 hours to be seated. Once we were seated, ingredients were fresh, food was served pretty quickly and service was very good. They even provided us an English menu. If you are feeling like a bowl of ramen then you might want to try this place. But hopefully you are not in a rush! Lol

    There is always always a line for Ramen Ya Hiro. Key is to get there about an hour early and get first in line so that it make you feel better about getting seated first =) The ramen will hit the spot for sure. The broth is creamy fatty and delicious. Coming from LA where ramen is probably as good as the ones in Tokyo, I very satisfied. But please note, this ramen is probably the BEST in Barcelona... Actually, they are really in a category of their own where competition doesn't exist. I'd also recommend the chasu fried rice, fried gyoza, and of the course the korean side of kimchi. It's a small place - there is limited seating inside and outdoor seating of about 8 small tables. Service is pleasant and food is served quickly. Just quickly eat and leave because that long ridiculous line of people will be staring you down. Recommended!

    Authentic ramen in Barcelona, a few blocks from La Sagrada Familia. You'll want to arrive early for the evening, there may be a line

    Japanese ramen seems to be the new rage in Barcelona. Ramen-Ya Hiro is for the enthusiast. They're doing something special here. You can tell by the lines that go around the block for lunch and dinner. Small hole in the wall, playing old school hip hop music and open kitchen. It does take a long time to be seated and to get your food. But they don't have many cool spots like this in Barcelona for ramen, so the experience is worth the wait.

    Food: 3.5/5.0 Service: 1.5/5.0 Value: 3.0/5.0 Decor: 2.5/5.0 Overall: 3.0/5.0 My experience at this spot was sad. Service was slow and awful. It took 10 minutes to get my order in, then I got handed a dirty plate with what I assume were hardened remnants of gyoza (which by the way were mediocre; not the remnants but my actual gyoza :D) and streaks of soy from the day before. To make matters worse, the timing on my tsukemen was completely messed up, as my broth was nearing room temperature. I absolutely love ramen and have had my share of the stuff in both the motherland and across the west. The noodles were fine and cooked to the right level of chewiness. The broth was pretty good though I'm personally not a fan of fat particles floating in my broth (reminded me of jiro). On the other hand, these guys need to get their props where it's due -- the chashu was fantastic. I literally can't name a clearly better chashu, Tokyo included. My little tsukemen issues aside, I'd put the quality of the ramen here itself at 4.0/5.0, which is not enough to freak out over but still very good. Good enough for me to devour my bowl once I got it. But this shop needs to go visit Japan and pick up some pointers on basic ramen service (it is by far the most authentic product I tried in the city though). And maybe just install a ticket machine while you're at it.

    Seafood ramen
    Charles N.

    Surprisingly, this is an excellent ramen house in Barcelona. It opened at 7:30pm, but by 7pm, there were already 46 people waiting to eat. I wish there was a skip-the-line option but we ended up waiting until 9pm to eat. It was worth the wait. The miso and seafood ramen were both excellent. The broth was really good and the meat were fresh. The ramen was cooked perfectly. It was not spicy at all. There were limited appetizer choices. The gyoza was okay. Nothing special. Overall, it's an excellent restaurant. I would definitely come back, but next time, a bit earlier so that I don't have to wait too long.

    Gyoza - okay (3 pieces included for lunch menu)
    Jenny C.

    This place is packed for sure. I counted 10 outdoor seats and maybe around 20 seats inside. Arrived here on a Monday at 1:30 right when they opened. All the seats were by then already filled and still 13 people ahead of me in line. My suggestion: get here early!! Our server was great and showed sense of urgency which I greatly appreciate because we waited an hour in line to sit down. Definitely get the lunch menu. More bang for your buck. It includes a ramen (with soup or dry) your choice of gyoza or onigiri and a drink. There is no wine served at this establishment - just soft drinks and beer. We ordered: Miso ramen and added extra egg and corn. Sucks but instead of giving you a WHOLE egg, you only get one. It includes one piece chashu (I though one more piece would've been perfect). The noodles were a great texture and the broth was tasty. Downside: I didn't like the pieces of fat floating in my broth. I think they should've scooped it out. Tsukemem- basically a deconstructed ramen. This includes two pieces of ramen. The server brought out the broth way too early so the broth got cold. Again- pieces of fat floating around in the broth. It wasn't too bad though- more of a citrus taste Appetizers: Gyoza - nothing special. Taste like your normal frozen store bought gyoza. Chashu onigiri - great taste however too much rice on the outside. Again - pretty decent ramen however I think I would like to try a new ramen restaurant. Any recommendations? Message me your favorite!!

But if to that we also add how good the ramen, onigiri and gyoza were, it just makes it a perfect meal. There's this dessert that is shaped and decorated as one of the Dragon Balls, and I truly regret not ordering one of those! But it also makes as an excuse to go back and have it! Would I repeat?: KAME HAME YAS!!

It's tart and the texture was really smooth and delish and for the spicy ramen. So in total Mutenroshi is a solid 4 stars. My party of three ordered two Songoku courses which included a main course (appetizer) and ramen for 9.90 euros. Phil ordered the chicken curry gyoza( supplement 1.50 euros) and the beef ramen for his meal. I ordered the vegetables gyoza and spicy ramen for my meal and candice ordered the mini wagyu burger (3.90 euros). The gyozas were decent and it came three gyozas in an order. No complaints there for the gyozas. The mini wagyu burger was really tiny in size, almost like a slider and we felt that it was not worth the 3.90. We're not too sure if it was in fact wagyu beef at all actually so give it a shot if you want to try it but this burger will not fill you up. We felt that the beef ramen was lacking flavor so there wasn't anything special about that particular ramen however I recommend ordering the spicy ramen; the broth tasted much more flavorful. The ramen noodles were solid in texture and the toppings such as the nori, egg, bean sprouts, green onions and chashu were all good :) As you may have noticed, they really take the dragon ball theme here seriously. It's a cute ramen restaurant and I enjoyed that even when it was themed, the ramen did not lack in quality. Overall this ramen shop is worth a try given that it's one of the few ramen shops in Barcelona that serves at least decent ramen. Thumbs up!

I arrived for a late lunch (according to American standards, of course, as it was probably perfect timing for the rest of the Spaniards in the restaurant) and was quickly seated. I had gotten my filling of tapas during my stay in Barcelona and needed a bit of palate cleanser with a hearty, flavorful bao filled with meat -- a bit like an Asian taco, if you will. I stood firm in my order despite it feeling like heresy as "ramen" is in the name of the restaurant and a quick look around me revealed that most of the tables were definitely enjoying their ramen. Still, with things like pad thai and kimchi on the menu, I felt like I had permission to indulge in my cravings. I dug into a starter of some chicken karaage (Japanese fried chicken) that came with some homemade teriyaki sauce on the side. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the teriyaki sauce complemented its flavor instead of being too overwhelming. But the order did seem a bit on the pricier side at €7.50, which is basically the same price as one of the baos, so I think I would've ordered an extra one instead. As for the baos, I got three: the pork, the chicken, and the shrimp. They all tasted very similar to each other -- the pickled cucumber and carrot on the pork and the sauces on the shrimp did most of the heavy lifting, so I barely tasted the difference in meat. There are other places that ofter this bao delicacy in Barcelona (my reco would be Boa Bao) so come to Koku Kitchen for the ramen and gyoza instead. I did appreciate the decor of the place, especially the flower placed in a brown apothecary-esque bottle and the dim, hip vibes of the bathroom.

Well I was curious to see how good or bad ramen place would be in Spain. Well curiosity killed the cat and my wallet for wasting my money . Restaurant was packed. I thought we would wait but was asked to follow one of the staff. Went downstairs and saw another dining room which was cool. Also packed with people so I was little excited to taste the food. Ordered angry chicken bao.. Don't know why it was angry because it wasn't spicy at all. Took a bite and was trying to figure out what the sauce was.. Little taste of peanut. Bao was alright but not worth the money for how much it cost for one. Then got the pork gyoza. Not bad, not much flavor but wasn't horrible. Then the main dish I ordered spicy miso ramen and pad Thai.. Why I ordered pad Thai at Japanese restaurant in Spain? I have no idea. Presentation of ramen was good. Tasted the broth and I was confused because it tasted sweet and lacked in miso flavor and no spice what so ever. Ramen was cooked little al dente. Employee was nice enough to offer chilli.. So added about 4 spoonful and tasted little better. Over all the ramen was pure disappointment, probably the worst ramen I ate at a restaurant. Then the pad Thai.. Tiny little bowl only with shrimp cut in half on top. I thought I was disappointed with ramen but man... This dish was utter failure.. No way anything near pad Thai flavor. It tasted like egg fried noodle with shrimp on top. It lacked in so much flavor. So dinner was pretty sad.. I could not recommend this place to anyone.. And holy smoke 5.50 for side of kimchee.. What the heck.. Can't wait to tell my mom how much they were charging for side of kimchee...
